Lomedor was a central hub used by the humanoids mainly as a place of interaction. In the day this city would be filled with hundreds if not thousands of humanoids, corner to corner. But at night the numbers greatly dwindled, this made it easier to track one in particular. A mighty figure loomed in the darkness, it wore a guard's outfit, and the bronze which donned on the hat held the sign of the Underworld. Blood dripped from the uniform which stayed unaltered. Those who the figure hunted knew what it was, it's name was infamous. The creature was called Hell Guard, Bleedheart. A fitting name to the beast.

It's new target was known as Annihilate, a leader of a a group known as the Shadovar Concordance. A guild of evil, but Annihilate had gone against the laws ow the underworld in turning against the demonic forces which resided amongst the dead. Now the Hell Guard was sent to hunt and destroy Annihilate, and so far had tracked it down to the overpopulated city. The current lack of humanoids owuld make the mission easier. He made his way through the darkened streets, leaving a trail ofdripping blood behind him. Around each cornor there was no sign of Annihilate. Finally, the Hell Guard could sense the shade, with haste he made his way before it was lost.

Bleedheart turned a cornor and saw the shade, his orange eyes gazed upon it. "You, Annihilate, are charged with crimes against the Undercity! It is obvious that you will not go peacefully, but you will not hide from me in this city!" A demonic voice echoed from beneath the shadows that concealed whatever face the creature may have. He stood at the ready, his blloody claws in a position to attack. He did not use a sword, but he had bested those who did.

There was a loud crack that resonated through the alley loudly as a fist smashed into skull, and frail body fell limp onto the ground. Blood splattered across the wall, and a loud cackle filled the darkness as the shade moved closer to his prey. Annihilate stood over the fallen man, who shook violently and gurgled blood at the sight of the shade. The dying man knew the shade at first sight, and stared at him incredulously with deep-seated fear in his eyes. The shade was a demon to him, and stood there looking down with such malice and ill-contempt that he could not take it all in. Annihilate’s red cloak flashed in the darkness, and his deep bloody eyes had stalked the man like a predator from the darkness. This man was of an average size and build, but when the demon came upon him he could not resist. Annihilate had jumped upon him, beat and maimed him, and hadn’t even drawn his weapon. The shade merely smiled and crouched down beside him, and looked him deep in the eyes.

Just his stare was enough to silence the man, who was but a crumpled mass on the ground. Blood trickled out of his nose and mouth, and he tried to speak, but he could not but gurgle. Annihilate recited a dark eulogy for the dying man, examining and admiring his flawless kill so much that he didn’t notice the shadow creeping up behind him down at the end of the alley. In the same way Annihilate had slipped through the shadows, prowling the dark streets in search of his prey, this creature stalked him. So when the voice rang out in the shadows behind him he whipped around while snarling viciously.

Annihilate assessed the situation very quickly, eyes flashing in the darkness. This new presence was a large man, very large, and Anni could feel the devilish aura he exuded. When this man called out his intentions the shade Annihilate had already made his decision. He planned to fight, but not right there in the middle of the alley. He knew that there was a ladder just a few feet behind him, over the dead body. While he typically did not run away from a fight he knew the alley was just way too small for the both of them. He guessed the other man was close to eight foot, and probably over four-hundred and fifty pounds. He was pure muscle, and the shade was barely half that. Anni stood six foot barely, and was approximately two hundred pounds of pure muscle. Still – in this confined area he couldn’t move around and fight. Anni had killed bigger, but not in such a confined environment.

“The Undercity, eh?” he called out, his voice thundering loudly in the alleyway, “I don’t recall them, but I’ve been charged with crimes against most people – and none of them have gotten their hands on me yet. So come, brother, come. Come and get me!” Without a word Anni turned quickly, and bolted towards the fire escape just behind him. Anni used the dead body to jump part of the way up the ladder, and he climbed like a monkey as quickly as he could. One hand passed over the other, and he assailed the wall quickly, but the shade did not look back at the demon on his tail. When he passed the lip of the building he put both feet down and jumped, and rolled across the roof, but he jumped up very quickly.

In the length of a breath Anni had wheeled around, and had drawn both of his blades from their sheathes. Sparkling steel gleamed in the moonlight and starlight, and burning red eyes stared at the top of the ladder. He was just waiting for the assassin to come over that edge, for while he didn’t plan to kill him he would make certain that the beastly creature knew just who he was messing with.
